Will ThorShield increase my chances of being hit by lighting?

Absolutely not! A common myth is that metal attracts lightning. The three factors that dominate where lightning strikes near a thunderstorm are height, isolation, and shape. However, you do want to avoid large metal objects like metal fences or bleachers. If lightning does happen to strike them, they can conduct the deadly electricity a long distance to you. For more information about lightning, please refer to the National Weather Service.
